ABA led a large delegation of the Food and Beverage Issue Alliance in its first 2016 quarterly meeting with FDA. FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Food Mike Taylor, Dr. Susan Mayne, FDA CFSAN Director shared the Agencies’ 2016 priorities for both FSMA and nutrition related policy. The dialogue provided good insight on areas where the Alliance can partner with FDA and where FBIA can be a resource for insight on key issues such as nutrition labeling, health claims, standards of identity, date labeling and clean label.
